Abstract
We experienced a case of Paget's disease of the breast in a renal transplant recipient. The patient was a 47-year-old female who had undergone renal transplantation 6 years earlier with a favorable clinical cource by administration of immunosuppresssant. She recieved biopsy of the skin of the right nipple, because she had noticed intractable scab of the right nipple. She was diagnosed as Paget's disease of the breast. In preoperative examination some masses were pointed out in the mammary gland. The patient was diagnosed as Paget's disease with mass lesion and was performed a modified radical mastectomy.
Recently, renal transplantations to the patients with chronic renal failure have been increasing by performed because of a progress of the immunosuppressants. So the increased carcinogenicity in the recipients should be taken into account, and we should further discuss the direction for some proper use of antineoplastic agents and immunosuppressants.
